Saving an analysis
You can save new or updated analyses to the library.
About this task
Tip: If you are preparing analyses to be used by others you
might want to review the section
Creating analyses for others
before you save your analysis to the library.
Tip: You might also want to
specify key columns before saving the
analysis. This is important if you want to reapply any specified tags when
reopening the analysis file, or if you want to
reapply markings in unaggregated
visualizations (including markings in bookmarks).
If you want to save updates to the last saved version of the
analysis, select
on the menu bar.
To save an analysis for the first time to the library, or with a different name, or at a new location, follow the procedure below.

The administrator can also change the preference default for embedded data or
force embedding of data when saving to library, under
LibraryPreferences. If the final data table is
embedded, then you will not be able to change any data loading settings for
specific sources.
- Deleting items from the library
You can remove items from the library in the Files and data flyout, or when browsing the library in a web browser. - Reverting to a previous version of a file
If an analysis or other type of data file has become corrupted when it was modified, you can use the versioning functionality in the library to revert to a previous version of the file. You can also look at previous versions to review the library version history of a file. - Adding library items as favorites
You can add any library item (a file, folder, data connection, and so on) as a favorite and have it show up in a specialized view in the library. This way, you can easily find your most important or most commonly used items in the library. - Creating analyses for others
When you are creating analyses to be used by others, there are certain things that can be good to think about. Depending on your audience and their licenses, access to data, or their work environment, you might need to think about your analysis design from different angles.
